Literature review of behavioral phenotyping of the so‐called "autism spectrum disorder (ASD) mouse models" reveals inconsistent patterns in behavior execution and reporting. A literature review of the so‐called "mouse models of ASD" was conducted to observe trends in behavioral phenotyping execution and reporting. We analyzed how often core diagnostic criteria of ASD were assessed in mouse models, how often these criteria were paired with other behavioral domains, and how often common assays used in social and repetitive and restricted behaviors were used as singular outcomes for each domain. We also highlighted how often four key features of experimental design were not clearly reported to highlight gaps in reporting that may inhibit or prohibit successful interpretation and reproduction of data published
